12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a cloudy burnt orange with about 4 fingers of thick white head. Aroma of citrus hops and caramel. Taste is light bitter and light sweet. Lots of citrus with a little dash of caramel. Full bodied with a creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, very good. I could drink this every day.

The taste is earthy, herbal, almost minty hops, tea leaves and caramel malts. Medium bodied. Not sure I like the hop profile, but its solid.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Doodler. Pours a cloudy brown with an orange hue and a gigantic shaving foam style off-white head. Sweet roasty nose. Medium body, sweet roast, heavy licorice and a solid bitterness. The hops are bitter alright but don’t really add much aromatic freshness - at least not at this stage. 200312

Bottled. A brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma has notes of hops, fruits, and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, malt, caramel, and bread, leading to a bitter hoppy finish.

Bottled (NYC)
Dark Coca-Cola brown color, small steady beige head. Strong pine needles, resin and wood in the nose. Medium-bodied. Very resiny and pine woody flavor. Quite "green" black IPA by flavor. Not very balanced.
